Foodie’s Guide to Spring Cleaning + Free Printable Checklist

Is it Spring already? Say it isn’t so! When the weather starts changing I love rotating my closet, putting my heavy coats in boxes out of sight, and my dresses come out of hiding from the depths of the upstairs closet. Something about the changing seasons and shifting of wardrobes, for me, sparks the need to Spring clean! A thorough, deep, Spring cleaning. And because I am a Chef, I pay special attention to when I Spring clean the kitchen, which is my domain. When spring cleaning the kitchen, I pay special attention to the ever growing list of outstanding kitchen cleaning to-do’s, beyond the everyday touchups.

A clean and tidy kitchen requires a lot of upkeep. Sometimes, non-urgent cleaning and maintenance slips through the cracks. We have all been there! But with Spring approaching and new seasonal, fresh dishes waiting to be made, I hunker down and rid the kitchen of Fall and Winter’s crumbs.

To help you Spring clean the kitchen, I created the Foodie’s Guide to Spring Clean the Kitchen, covering the deep cleaning items that are often forgotten. This guide goes beyond the everyday kitchen tasks and focuses on the seasonal and annual items we are more likely to miss. Print out the Foodie’s Guide to Spring Clean the Kitchen to use as a seasonal reference or send it to a friend.

Checking the Expiration:

Oils & Vinegars

Sauces

Condiments

Canned Goods

Spices & Seasonings – Not only check the expiration, but also give all of your spices the smell test. If the spices don’t have a smell (or the right smell), the spices might have gone bad and need to be tossed.
